[quote:TBar1984:MV8xMzk3ODcwXzI0MTE2NTUzXzdFRDdCQ0Ey] [quote:highwic] no change in the position of Jupiter and Venus, right ? [/quote] Look here, page 317 first column they show the Horizontal Parallax correction for the sun. ZERO - there is no correction due to the distance of the Sun from Earth http://www.irbs.com/bowditch/pdf/chapt20.pdf You would have to look in the Nautical Almanac to get the correction for the planets, but it would be USELESS because the change would be extremely SMALL!!! Page 319, they show the Horizontal Parallax correction to the Moon, it equates to a correction of 4.0' which is 4 nautical miles on earth. 2007. Reducing A Moon Sight The moon is easy to identify and is often visible during the day. However, the moon’s proximity to the earth requires applying additional corrections to ha to obtain ho. This section will cover moon sight reduction. At 10-00-00 GMT, June 16, 1994, the navigator obtains a sight of the moon’s upper limb. Hs is 26° 06.7'. Height of eye is 18 feet; there is no index error. Determine ho, the moon’s GHA, and the moon’s declination. See Figure 2007. Body Moon (UL) Index Correction 0.0' Dip (18 feet) -4.1' Sum -4.1' Sextant Altitude (hs) 26° 06.7' Apparent Altitude (ha) 26° 02.6' Altitude Correction +60.5' Additional Correction 0.0' [b]Horizontal Parallax (58.4) +4.0'[/b] Moon Upper Limb Correction -30.0' Correction to ha +34.5' Observed Altitude (ho) 26° 37.1' [/quote]

There was a Jupiter,Venus,crescent Moon conjunction, 1st Dec 08
In the image following, to the layman it looks like it is from above.
But on further investigation it says that the observing site is from Lat 47 deg North which is right as far as Jupiter and Venus are concerned but if you change that to 47 deg South there is no change to the position of Jupiter and Venus. As you will see in photos below there are huge differences between Northern hemisphere and Southern hemisphere positions of the conjunction as viewed from Earth
:corrupt conjunct:
view from southern hemisphere
:Southern Hemisph:
view from northern hemisphere
:Northern Hemisph:
view from Equator
